Profile:
One of the many cricketers who could not make a successful transition
to international cricket despite an excellent record on the domestic
circuit, Narasimha Rao, popularly known as `Bobjee', was a sound right
handed middle order bat and an orthodox leg spin bowler who could
achieve considerable turn and bounce from his high arm action. He was
picked to play against West Indies in 1978-79 but after two Tests he
could not consolidate and his place was taken by the man he had
initially replaced - BS Chandrasekhar. Brought back the following
season for the series against Australia, he was discarded after two
more Tests, unable to strike form either with bat or ball. As an alert
close in fielder, however he did well in picking up eight catches.
In the Ranji Trophy however, `Bobjee' was a tower of strength to the
Hyderabad side for two decades and had one of the best all round
performances in the national competition - 4124 runs (47.40) and 218
wickets (24.20). For a time he was a successful and popular
professional in Ireland.(Partab Ramchand)
